As sports fans in these parts, we’re all aware of the rivalry that exists between N.C. State and University of North Carolina teams. It doesn’t matter if it’s football, basketball, tiddlywinks or basket weaving, supporters want nothing more than to beat the Wolfpack/Tar Heels.

This weekend, the schools meet in baseball at N.C. State’s Doak Field. The three game series is sold out.

And, on Twitter, the fans are pumped up, including former ‘American Idol’ Scotty McCreery.

Go get em tonight @ncstatebaseball! Wish i could be there, but I’ll be rooting yall on from Mississippi! Beat UNC-CH!

And new N.C. State football coach Dave Doeren.

Good luck to @elliott_avent and @ncstatebaseball this weekend against those boys in blue. #OurState #1Pack1Goal

And UNC baseball recruit Tanner Bigham.

Wish I was going to this UNC and NC State game tonight #goheels
